To make a right turn onto a two-way street, which lane should you start from if possible?

• A. The lane closest to the right curb
• B. The center lane
• C. The leftmost lane
• D. The lane nearest to the left curb

Answer: (A)

When turning right onto a two-way street, start from the lane closest to the right curb. This placement keeps you in the correct path from the outset, so you enter the new street in the rightmost lane and avoid crossing over multiple lanes of traffic. Starting from the rightmost lane also helps you stay out of the flow of vehicles in the other lanes, reduces the risk of hitting the curb or peeking into pedestrians, and aligns with how you should merge into the correct lane after the turn. If you were to start from a center or left lane, you’d typically have to cross lanes of traffic or swing wider, which is riskier and less predictable.
